HEARING SCARY NEWS

Hearing Scary News

​Marcy (2018) advises that when #scary events occur, parents often wonder how to help their family understand the graphic images and emotional content they may see. First, turn off the TV and be mindful of what adults discuss that may be overheard and misunderstood.
#< My Thoughts >       “Helping children handle scary news…”
 
Things to do with your family –

  • Take nature walks
  • Have a sunrise breakfast, outside
  • Have a sunset supper, outside
  • Make a movie night
  • Have a familiar family fun event
  • Put on a play
  • Plan a vacation
  • Build a Rube Goldberg Creation

If children become aware that someting 'bad' has happened, Marcy suggests that #families can reassure them of their #safety. Answer their questions, leaving time for them to process what they are hearing.

< My Thoughts >       “…reassure them…”
 
Remind the family of how to problem solve and about previous situations that they have been successful with in the past. Let them know that you are always available to answer questions. If their #anxiety becomes more serious, seek professional help.
 
Marcy believes that helping to inspire others by reaching out to them helps both ways. Figure out how the family can help others.

    Just to let you know that I, Sara Luker, have put forth my best efforts in presenting interesting information about autism and to create the extended book reviews presented here on this website. I have permission from the authors to publish these Extended Book Reviews. This is just a sharing of stories of those who have gone on before you. Please, understand also that all health matters ALWAYS require professional medical decisions, diagnosis, and treatment by highly qualified and licensed individuals.
